STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF TOORO

Fellow Batooro, friends of Tooro and all those who mourn with us,

As we prepare to receive His Majesty the Omukama and ultimately lay our King to rest, I appeal to every Mutooro to conduct ourselves with the dignity, restraint and decorum befitting this solemn moment.

We have lost our King. We have lost a son of Tooro whose life, leadership and service carried the name of our Kingdom far beyond our borders.

At this moment, our responsibility is not to allow disagreements, speculation or competing narratives to define these final days. Our responsibility is to protect His Majesty’s memory, honour his legacy and give him the dignified farewell he deserves.

Moments like these require leadership, not posturing. They require less talking and more organising. We are all grieving and emotions are understandably high, but leadership requires us to rise above those emotions, lead by example and never lose sight of the bigger picture.

The world is watching us, but more importantly, the people of Tooro are looking to us for leadership. How we conduct ourselves during this difficult period reflects on all Batooro. Let us therefore demonstrate the values for which our people are known: dignity, respect, unity and love for our Kingdom.

I am aware that questions have been raised regarding some of the circumstances surrounding His Majesty’s time abroad and the communication around it. I wish to clarify one matter respectfully.

The information communicated to the public that His Majesty was abroad studying, and subsequently that he was well, was communicated in accordance with His Majesty’s express wishes and direction. As someone serving him, it was my responsibility to respect his wishes and protect his privacy. I did so faithfully and respectfully.

I am also confident that His Majesty acted in good faith. He was confident in his recovery and was looking forward to returning home and reuniting with his people for the 31st Empango. He did not want to cause unnecessary alarm among his people.

Other matters have also been raised. This is neither the time nor the place to debate them. They must not be allowed to create division, controversy or distract us from the enormous responsibility before us.

There will be a proper time and forum, after His Majesty has been laid to rest, to address any matters that require clarification. For now, everything else is secondary.

I therefore appeal especially to Kingdom leaders, cultural leaders, public officials, the media, commentators and everyone using social media to exercise restraint. Words spoken in moments of grief can deepen divisions that may take years to repair. Let us choose words and actions that unite the Batooro and reflect the dignity of the Kingdom.

I also appeal for privacy and respect for the Royal Family and those who were closest to His Majesty. Their grief is deeply personal, and they must be given the space to mourn without intrusion, unnecessary speculation or pressure to speak. Their privacy and dignity should be respected throughout this difficult period.

Our duty now is simple: to receive our King with honour, lay him to rest with dignity, and stand together as one people.

Future generations will remember not only that Tooro lost its King, but also how we conducted ourselves in this moment of grief. Let them remember a people who chose unity over division, service over posturing, and leadership over controversy.

Until His Majesty has been laid to rest, let us remain united and focused on giving him the peaceful and honourable farewell he deserves.

In all that we say and do, Tooro must come first.

@EdsonEdsonz @Kelele_ug Exactly, being vocal doesn't mean he is right all the time. Most people have hidden their rotten manners behind that phrase " Nimbaza bwaa".
He can defend Tooro Kingdom, that's okay but the humiliating words against our King , the prince and mother were uncalled for.
Terrible!

[Peace 🌹🌹 @AnneKyakwera]

@Kelele_ug No one has actually come up to abuse this guy Joram. Let him man up, he spoke very terrible words about the king in a certain video while in a bar. We love our king. Did God create him to speak derogatively about the King & the prince. Who is ekitwekano? Chasing for clout just.

What is life really? A king-we've watched growing , whom we've genuinely wished the best for.
How do we now explain to our little children that the King has died...

Sleep well Rukira basaija, maguru gafunda murugudo.

RWENZORI MARATHON 2026

At one point, I run to room because I was overwhelmed, I cried and just remembered how far God has brought me.

I was tired but joyed at the same time seeing runners from over 42 countries mainly African countries.

Just thinking about the fact that WORLD ATHLETICS FEDERATION was live streaming RWENZORI MARATHON, that the quality of runners has gone so high.

The community turn up, the booming business in kasese, people struggled to get food, great problem because it presents opportunities.

The hotel I stayed at, the manager said Kasese is going to run out of food but they stoked for after the marathon too.

Got messages from people around the world today morning some high profile saying, they won’t miss out next year

I was 25 and he was 27 and we were ready to start a family. Thanks to God we have had so much more than we dreamt of. We’ve been to honey moon destinations we wished for. We don’t know heated arguments or silent treatment. Empathy and effective communication have led us thru.❤️

@kat_festo @GabrielBuule @MulungiJoan @ManCaveUg @MugaluNathan @SimonKaggwaNjal @erich_mboowa @Nabimara_Paul But why can't they find a life beyond their broken marriage? Death is waiting for us but people want to spend their precious time on earth with bitterness. Wheuh!

A beautiful emotional day as I gave away my little sister into marriage.
